The Customer Payment Info section allows the customer to add/change/delete their saved credit cards. Customers have the ability to apply one of their saved credit cards to their subscriptions. Reward point accumulation is also recorded in this section.

The Secure Quick-Selection Credit Card Menu can be enabled here, to display a secure list of that customer's credit cards on the checkout page when they are logged in. This way, the customer does not have to re-enter their credit card info during future transactions, and may simply select it from the list.

tip
If you do not wish to have customer credit card information saved in the store's database, set the Retain All Credit Card Data system setting, through [Admin > System Settings] to NO.
